Welcome to our Common Ground!

The mission of Common Ground Mentoring is to facilitate the physical, social, and emotional growth of the girls in our Tucson community and help parents navigate their changing relationship with their daughters to keep them safe, happy, and healthy on their journey to becoming young women.

What do we want for the young girls in our lives as they journey from girlhood to Womanhood?

  • To believe in her self worth regardless of popularity or looks
  • To claim her talents and strengths with confidence
  • To be safe and make decisions that nourish her soul and are in line with her truth
  • To speak her truth and know its value and that it deserves to be heard
  • To be a good friend and surround herself with people who share in her vision of what it means to be a good friend
  • To understand, honor, and care for her changing body
  • To know her body is hers. That it is sacred and demand those around her treat it as such
  • To understand that her boundaries (physical and emotional) are not dependent on the feelings of others and that she chooses who she lets get close and how close they get

“The trials of puberty are an experience all women share. Not just  the women who tread this planet with us, but each woman who walked on this sacred ground before us and all those who will stand upon it once we are gone.  Our adolescence shapes us, forges us, into the women we will become.  From mother to daughter, this is the thread that binds us through time with the very essence and power of womanhood. It is our responsibility to ensure it is held sacred; not to be tarnished by injustice or shame or the beliefs of others. It is our common ground. Our history.  And our common ground may be battle-worn,  but it is ours and we are here to claim it”
